Great location near pubs and restaurants. A short distance from sites to visit and nice walk to Titanic Experience. I booked a Deluxe Art Dec Room, and this was amazing. Perfect sleep aside from the music you could hear until 11pm but this didn't bother me as I put my ear pods and still fell asleep. The restaurant and the bar on site are a must try! Food and cocktails was so nice from breakfast to dinner. You can't go wrong! One last thing... went to see Sonny Fodera at the Custom House Square, so this was a perfect hub to be able to enjoy the show at a walking distance.

We ate here on the last bank holiday in August. The turbot was absolutely sublime. Easily the nicest fish dish I’d ever had. Presentation and flavour was exquisite. We do come here regularly and Horia, amongst other staff, always look after us very well.

We were married in this beautiful hotel in 2020 and love getting the chance to return for a special treat! We stayed here for my birthday and some pre baby relaxation and had another amazing experience. The only downside was that we weren’t staying longer! We started our stay with a light lunch in The hotels pub The Cloth Ear where I had the best seafood chowder I have ever tasted! Following this we made our way to the harmonious underground spa where my husband enjoyed the hydrotherapy suite whilst I was treated to a soothing prenatal massage. We checked in to the most stunning suite which we received a complimentary upgrade to - (the four poster bed and luxurious “his and hers” style bathroom, wow!) :) We enjoyed some cocktails, (non alcoholic for me) which the wonderful staff in the award winning Cocktail Bar were more than happy to adapt for me. After a restful nights sleep we had a beautiful breakfast in the stunning surroundings of The Great Room restaurant. The breakfast was plentiful and topped off the most amazing stay. The staff in this hotel are truly a credit and each one we met enhanced our stay further! Thank you.

We chose the Merchant hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had heard so much about the Merchant and had high expectations. The experience did not let us down. From the moment we arrived until we left we felt like special guests. The ambience is perfect. A balance of luxurious surroundings, quality service, great food and drink, live music in Bert’s bar along with friendliness and a warm welcome. It is worth the extra expense. And it is expensive. But for a special treat you’ll probably not be able to top it. Only one or two hotels in the world that we have been lucky to stay in would slightly better it but it’s close to the very best. Our experience was slightly soured by being on the floor just above and in the end room right over the Roof garden where there was a party going on. The music was very loud but as the music was good and it finished at 12 we didn’t complain - then there was a fire alarm at 12.40! Spoiled the experience a bit but we will soon forget this and remember the overall sumptuous surroundings, great food and warm welcome everywhere we went in the hotel.

I went today for a meal in the great room with my mother, staff and food were excellent could not fault the service. Relaxed atmosphere and a most enjoyable lunch experience. Toilets also were immaculate as this is a must for me in any restaurant.

Stayed overnight while at a function. The staff were all superb, especially the staff working in the Rita Duffy suite and the Cocktail Bar. The Art Deco room was beautiful and very spacious, the Breakfast in the morning was perfect. Thank you all!

The Merchant Hotel is one of our best hotel experiences ever. Situated conveniently in central Belfast, The Merchant has more to offer than most high class hotels. The room we had was very unique, with a HUGE bathroom and soaker tub and some interesting murals inside the room to boot. The hotel public spaces are gorgeous and the staff are very helpful and professional. The Merchant has Bert's Jazz Bar and The Great Room restaurant. Both are incredible with tasty food and great ambiance. You cannot go wrong with The Merchant!
